SDS Plans Five-Day April Anti-War Strike

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At a meeting last night in Burr Lecture Hall. Harvard SDS discussed tentative plans to effect a five-day anti-war strike during the week of April 15.

In an attempt to prove University involvement in the Vietnam War, the strikers will publish a pamphlet evaluating Harvard's financial, educational, and scientific role in the war.

SDS will also campaign against University professors affiliated with the Cambridge Project. Due to the recent passage of the Mansfield amendment-which prevents any research, including that for defense, from being euphemistically disguised as pure research-the Cambridge Project no longer qualifies as pure research.

The pamphlet will include an evaluation of Harvard courses that will try to discover what role the courses may have in preparing students for war-related careers.

Harvard ties with Bank of America and the Chase Manhattan Bank, both of which have considerable investments in southeast Asia, will also be questioned.
